Ice Cream #1

Last weekend marked the beginning of ice cream season in our home. We make a lot of ice cream during the warmer months: usually one quart per week.

I'll chronicle the ice creams and how they came out.

All ice creams are made with:

1. Cuisinart standard ice cream maker (11 years old)
2. Thermapen (5 years old)
3. Normal, pots, measuring cups, etc.

Ice Cream #1 - MINT CHIP
We've made David Lebowitz's recipe countless times. It's pretty perfect. Two pieces of advice I'd give:

• Use peppermint, not spearmint
• Use 60 - 70% cocao chocolate, nothing darker than that.

Otherwise, follow the recipe exactly.
